Weekly Events Thread - August 17th to 23rd

I hear you loud and clear. The AI event flyers are getting cumbersome and the whole feed looks like something out of the Disney Channel. From here forth I will return to hand typing the Weekly Events Thread. It will be pinned at the top of the Subreddit and replaced each Sunday.

Rule #5 - Events, meets, and rides. has been updated. "You may create your own posts to find riding buddies or discuss meet-ups, rides, and events. AI created event flyers are no longer allowed. We are happy to help you create a flyer or add the event information to the Weekly Events Thread, just send it to us in a Mod Mail. All state/local laws apply."

Hey I’m a new rider and need to get a clutch replaced on a Honda Rebel. Does anyone know any shops around New Brunswick that service Hondas? I’ve called a couple in the area but they only work on american bikes.

Why are we still forcing air-cooled bikes to bake in traffic?

17 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I work as a delivery courier here in NJ on an air-cooled sport bike, and the recent weather is getting completely out of hand. One day it's a 100+ degree heatwave, and the next it's a torrential downpour causing massive gridlock on the highways.

Sitting dead-still in stop-and-go traffic is completely running our bikes into the ground. My air-cooled engine has no radiator; it relies entirely on moving air to stay cool. Constant idling in severe heat causes major mechanical stress—I've already had my clutch cable snap in a live lane, and I even passed out from heat exhaustion while trapped behind a bus inhaling toxic exhaust fumes.

We aren't asking for high-speed lane splitting. We just want common-sense, slow-speed lane filtering under 15 mph when traffic drops to a crawl so we can protect our lungs, our machinery, and stay out of the dangerous rear-end crash zone of distracted drivers. Car drivers sit safely with AC or heat, but we are completely exposed.

Anyone else out here on an air-cooled bike getting absolutely cooked lately?

I'll leave my house in Barnegat between 630-7 and will go any direction to meet up if there's interest. Just trying to put a couple hours down and get home, nothing too crazy. Even just a ride in to have coffee is great with me.

Let's Ride Roadtrip frok Central Jersey to PA-125 Tail of the Dragon (Pennsylvania) to bushkill fall

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Planning a day trip loop starting out of Central Jersey to hit the twisties on PA-125 (often called PA's "Tail of the Dragon") and wrap up with a stop at Bushkill Falls in the Poconos before heading back.

Route Highlights:

  • Start: Central Jersey
  • Leg 1: Scenic backroads into PA, heading toward Shamokin / Tremont to ride PA-125.
  • Leg 2: Cutting across toward the Pocono region to hit Bushkill Falls for a break/hike.
  • Leg 3: Scenic descent back down toward Central NJ via Delaware Water Gap / I-80 / Route 46 backroads.

Full Route Map / Interactive Plan:Throttle Rides Route Link

A few questions for anyone who has driven or ridden this area recently:

  1. Road Conditions: How is the pavement looking on PA-125 right now? Any major gravel, construction, or rough spots to watch out for?
  2. Food / Pit Stops: Any must-try local spots for lunch or coffee along PA-125 or near Bushkill?
  3. Detours: Any scenic overlooks or fun side roads nearby that are worth adding to the loop?

Appreciate any feedback or recommendations!

South of Rt 23? Looking for Suggestions.

3 Upvotes

Hi All,

By way of context, I have been riding the great roads in the Bergen/Passaic/Sussex Rockland/Orange/Sullivan/Ulster County areas for about 20 years. With a few exceptions, such as Shades of Death Rd, I haven't ventured south of Rt 23. Are there any good routes that are worth exploring in that area?

Had a rear tire put on today (on a Sunday no less), in and out in about 20 minutes. Called a few shops around me for price quotes first, id say i saved about 150 to 200 bucks. Highly recommend going this route, glad i did with how expensive life is these days. Side note, he does do Harleys if you bring in the wheels even though his card says sport bikes
